The original title of the book: Go Slow: The Life of Julie London

It has been said that the records of singer and actress Julie London were purchased for their provocative, full-color cover photographs as frequently as they were for the music contained in their grooves. During the 1950s and '60s, her piercing blue eyes, strawberry blonde hair, and shapely figure were used to sell the world an image of cool sexuality.

The contrast between image and reality, the public and the private, is at the heart of Julie London's story. Through years of research; extensive interviews with family, friends, and musical associates; and access to rarely seen or heard archival material, author Michael Owen reveals the impact of her image on the direction of her career and how it influenced the choices she made, including the ultimate decision to walk away from performing.

Go Slow follows Julie London's life and career through its many stages: her transformation from 1940s movie starlet to coolly defiant singer of the classic torch ballad "Cry Me a River" of the '50s, and her journey from Las Vegas hotel entertainer during the rock 'n' roll revolution of the '60s to the no-nonsense nurse of the '70s hit television series Emergency!

As Go Slow discloses, through years of struggle and turmoil, an irony was born that would further distill some of Julie's finest work as an interpreter of popular song. Esteemed jazz vocalists and musicians loved and respected her. A generous spirit to her family and friends, Julie London was one grand dame and there will never be anyone like her. Thanks to Michael Owen, we begin to understand why." --Kevin Tighe, actor, Emergency!"An affectionate and complex portrait of London that will help rekindle an interest in her life and work." --Kirkus Reviews"The book offers an intimate look at her memorable public career and the sharp contrasts of her private life." --Discover Hollywood"Michael Owen has written an interesting book that fans of London or people interested in the popular culture of the 1950s will want to read." --All About Jazz"Owen's fascinating, clear-eyed portrait examines her work and looks at her decision to walk away from show business in the '70s, as well as her apparent indifference to her career." --The Arizona Republic"This biography is an overdue appreciation of a chanteuse capable of squeezing every bit of meaning and emotion out of ballads. . ." --Library Journal

I was slightly apprehensive about this book after reading the first review on Amazon. However, I needn't have been - I agree wholeheartedly with the "Johnnery" review and couldn't have put it better! I am primarily interested in Julie's recorded output and considered myself to be pretty knowledgeable but I quickly become absorbed by the wealth of new information presented within, including details of unreleased recordings, etc. I LOVE this book and it is one I will not be parting with - it's now my Julie reference guide. Thank you so much to the author...
